98.1% Windows PC is Vulnerable According to Latest Research

When every one is progressing towards a better and a secure cyber atmosphere, Windows astoundingly continues their trend and lags behind. If we remember last January’s assessments, at least 5% of the PCs were safe from any vulnerabilities. I used to count me as one while using Windows XP. But the recent stats show me no hope now. According to Secunia APS, 98.1% of the PCs on which its Personal Software Inspector (PSI) utility was installed during the past week sport one or more applications that have security updates available for downloading.

More than 98% of Windows computers harbor at least one unpatched application, and nearly half contain 11 or more programs at risk from attack, the Copenhagen-based security company said today.
